To all whom'it may concern.y y l I A ,Be it known that I, ROBERT TiioMrsoN, a` citizen of the United States, residing at Jersey City, in the county of Hudson and State of NewJersey, have inventedcertain new and useful Improvements in Gas- -k Stoves,ofdwhichthefollowing is a specification. p, Y '.My invention relates lto a gas yburner. or

stove. A`Prirnarilyf1 aim -to provide j an article of this type constructed for detachable connection to a gas-jet or other source i of gas supply. f AThis articlemay optionally In attaining said proved stove my; improved vstove or ,adapted be used for any usual purpose, for cooking or Afor heating. .K Y

*deris provided at where'the gas jetrconnect's'with itssupply tube or pipe 7 jvide a substantially frusto-conical hollow vgas `tube at 8 which is adapted to beconnected yin vany suitable manner to the jet 5. Preferably a tube'or thinible 9 is disposed 4axiallyof the tube 8 and adaptedA to be in'` serted Vover the end ofthe gas jet and surrounds the jetwith its'lower ends resting on Ythe shoulder 6 as seen in Fig. 1. A suitable skeleton frame is disposed within the Patented Juiy 2,1915;

Depending downwardlyjand outwardly from 'the ring, 10 are legs or tines 12, at their` lower yends bent outwardly so as to overlap an outwardly extending flange 13l at the vbase of tube 8, as at portions 14....These`p'ortions 14' are disposed intermediate said flange 13 land clenched thereto'through the -clenching ofi/ the marginal edge of ak plate 15 against the .flangelg asfat 16.y The tube 9eXte'n`ds through the platel and yalso through'fa Plate 17,Y which is journaled on theV tube and .has amarginal flange at 18 bent around the portieri-- 1.6.- Iortion. 181,y however, isrk y,notY clenched against prtion'16, since theY plate 17 istobe turned relativelyto tlieplatell axiallyr` The plate'l hasone or more openings 19 .therein adaptedtocoperate with oneor kmore openings 20 in thejplate v17 i luponfturning of theplate 17 sol that the extent of the lopenings lmay becontrolled.

The gas Will'issue from the jet, rising' in the tubef8 *and burner 24C and' issuingr from the openings ororiiices 30vwhere it is ignited. I preferably desirea blue'fiame or reducing flame at the'burner and' therefore the valve 17l isV provided tocoperate with .the valve or plate l5. YThe'plate 15 vfisy manually turned axially so asto controljthe eX- n tentnof'the openings 19'v and 20, and thereby control the quantity of air admitted for admixturje with'v the gas.` The stoveV may-be used either forheatingiorfcooling purposes. `Preferably I provide a supportingimeans for cooking utensilsor 4other articles above .the vburner orhot "plate-23. i Inthis connection I may use a T-shapedl supporting member 3l which ,is crossedjatright angles fbyfa T-shaped supporting member ..32 andwhich lextendsintoV ay slot 33ofy member 31 so that the top of members 31 and" 2`willbe flush asseen in Figi" l. Each member hasa riser 34 from which a plurality ofl tangsy 35- eX- tend and? whichV latter' are secured as by rivets 36', ory anyother. suitable means, to the plate 23.VV Eachriser preferably-has two arms andthe arms of' each riserextendin opposite directions.y It will be seen. that' the members 3l andfk 32 in effect provide four arms, which radiatev from ,the 'longitudinal median line of the stove. y Y Pvo'tally connectedlat the outer extremities of the said'arms, as means of' rivets 37s, are combined guards andv supporting members having arms `38 "through" which the 'rivets pass and arms y39 rising from 'andex ing-means As shown. inF-ig. l ofthedraw-` ings, the tube 8 adjacent its top may bey lapping said Aiange' `and lapping saidliiange of the tu tending at an angle to the arms 38. The four arms of the members 31 and 32 have outwardly extending @rest flangesAO `to be` engaged by and support ytlmarms 38 when in lowermost position.

A It willbe realizedfthatwhen the parts are Y inthe position sh'ownin Fig. l of the drawings, the cooking utensils will rest directly kon the arms and parts 3l and 32 against displacement; since in lateral movement would abut the arms 39. A pan may be dis* vp'osedbn'top'ofthe arms 39 if desired, to Y space, the members' 38-39 may bezmoved ,i

Aupwardly from their pivots v3'tothe dotted line positionshown in Fig',` 1.

I have found "that" in removing the stove ,from a gas jet without closing the valve of the' latter, lsuiiic'zient' gas" will remain inthe Agas tube 8 and it will eontinueto burnj to `leave a Haine at the 'tip of thegas jet. l y

scribed, it' isto be understood rthat .changes I in the details Loff,eonstruction. may' be resortedto withoutdeparting from the spirit and scope as. defined by appended claims..
